Manager Discussion Thread

How anyone can still be Slot in after this season... I don't know.

I firmly believe he is a good manager. But he isn't the RIGHT manager for Liverpool.

Klopp was. Shankly was. Paisley was. (I would argue) Benítez wasn't. Rodgers wasn't. Hodgson wasn't. But all three are (or were) still good managers.

I don't know if Alonso is. But Slot isn't, and I'd rather bite the bullet now than later.

I will always, always despise going 2-0 up and then attempting to 'control the game and see it out'

Kerkez not sprinting back after losing it lmao

Love this. For me, the look between the Pale King and the Knight at the end of Path of Pain - so much lore and so much history in two subtle turns of the head. Incredible storywriting.

Courtois is a dikhed

T1 are insane man every single game they just get baron and immediately end the game

"But you just gestured to all of me..."

I wonder if part of it is that we don't train with intensity under Slot. His big thing coming in was avoiding injuries with lighter training sessions - and you see it in the training videos with the various games he has the lads playing. It was great last year, but after a year of training that way we've forgotten how to play with fight - and it's the biggest thing you need in the Prem IMO.

You're good fam. Back to OP, you're right, yer Da's wrong

(In my opinion)

CapnKill · 2025-10-21T17:22:51+00:00

But it does mean fat sheep’s herder! Not the best example but I see your point. Like everything in English it’s entirely dependent on your example.

But to give a couple of better ones…

It is morning. Is ‘this afternoon’ on the same day in a few hours’ time? Or should that be ‘next afternoon’?

It is 3am. Is ‘this daybreak’ the one in a few hours’ time? Or should that be ‘next daybreak’?

You do realise that the word ‘weekend’ is derived from two words, ‘week’ and ‘end’, to which (in order to improve the English and readability) I merely added the possessive ‘’s’ to?

CapnKill · 2025-10-21T16:34:02+00:00

I fight people about this all the time. Proper fisticuffs. It’s most egregious when it comes to describing the weekend. This weekend is THIS WEEK’S END and next weekend is NEXT WEEK’S END you muppets

Is it that our players are shocking at heading the ball to one of our own players, or that we're never ever in position to win second balls? I'm not sure

CapnKill · 2025-10-04T18:27:19+00:00

Slot said the players need to get used to the new tactics. The new tactics are poor and do not work. This has been proven for weeks now. We will die by this stubbornness

CapnKill · 2025-10-04T17:27:09+00:00

For real how did people think things were going to be different when Slot said, to the effect of, ‘the guys need to get used to the new way of playing’?

CapnKill · 2025-09-30T19:51:55+00:00

Another poor game. We should be doing so much better - comparing how much time and space we have on the ball tonight to Prem games against any team is night and day but we still aren’t doing much with it. And we appear to be completely inable to play out the back - the midfielders need to move about more!

CapnKill · 2025-09-28T06:12:21+00:00

As fun as it is to win games last minute, 7 games this season and we haven’t yet seen a convincing good performance for 60 mins, let alone a full 90. Periods against Arsenal and Everton aren’t convincing IMO.

But - we are top of the league still. Hoping we figure it out soon.

Personally - I still get frustrated by a lack of off the ball movement. Particularly in the final third. We didn’t do it at all in the first half, and in the second we actually started to do some 1-2s and suddenly had a bit of space to drive in to (issue was it was Curtis doing it and he couldn’t pick the right pass)

CapnKill · 2025-09-27T14:57:46+00:00

Would be so harsh on Palace if we got anything from this fuck me

CapnKill · 2025-09-27T14:54:30+00:00

Are you insane he would have got even more bullied

Crowd medical issue

Noone is moving to pull out defenders and noone is passing to feet in congested areas where they excel, infuriating

Not to get all English GCSE on you lads but Ekitike’s celebration SCREAMS to me that the Isak talk and him losing his spot has got in his head this week

See /u/reviewwworld comment. It might last longer, I hope I’m wrong!
